According to production on Jo Frost's newJo Frost: Nanny On Tour show, the child expert reported a Georgia family to DCFS for possibly beating a nine-year-old boy. The show caught the footage thanks to reality cameras rolling in the home 24/7.

Insiders say the father of the family originally called the show because his three kids listened to him and not their mother. The dad hoped an intervention from Jo would help increase overall respect in the home.

Sadly, things didn't go as planned.

Frost claims she had to call DCFS after viewing footage of the father disciplining his son for using his cell-phone charger. Upon telling the boy what he did wrong, he then instructs the grade schooler to retreat to his bedroom.

Now here's where things get dicey — while you can see the poppa remove his belt, the viewers can't see if any violence has taken place. Since the patriarch closed the bedroom door, all viewers can hear is the cries and screams of the boy inside the bedroom.

Obviously, this is a very sensitive subject for a lot of people and that's why Frost decided to air the episode anyways. The nanny claims she wants to start a discussion on corporal punishment, a parenting tool she's vehemently against.

After the controversial segment aired, the caregiver orchestrated a very lively discussion on Twitter:

First of all, let's address the fact that Lifetime has debuted their American Supernanny and her name is Deborah Tillman.

Of course, we miss Jo Frost, and the show will never be the same, but we have a feeling we're going to like nanny Deborah too.

So, the new American Supernanny visited a two-mom family, Mandy Sheckles and her partner Amy Paul.

The couple has six biological children, all conceived through donated sperm - the last four children were quads!

Whoa!

Even though they run three daycares in Virginia, they have a lot on their plate raising six children at home. Amy takes care of the kids while Mandy was busy working all day and attached to her cellphone, which distracted her from helping out with the kids.

Using her effective parenting skills, Deborah helped the women to understand techniques that would help them get a better control of their children, especially when it came to bedtime and dinner time.

Just like any family, whether the parents are gay or straight, raising children is just as equally challenging no matter what. This episode helped to prove that all parents have the same issues regardless of their sexuality.

If you have bratty children or you just suck at parenting, direct your eyes over here. Help is on the way!

Lifetime has picked up a brand-new exclusively American version of the Supernanny franchise. That means the families will be American, it will be shot in America and the show's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious nanny will be, yes, American! (Sorry Julie Andrews!)

But first they have to find this extraordinary woman to star in the program! Those who wish to apply need to adhere to the following requirements:

Jo Frost has been helping other people control their families for almost six years, but now, she has announced she to end her reign as the Supernanny in hopes of starting her own family. Jo told sources:

"I have decided to hang up my cape. It was a very conscious decision, through much reflection. But I need to create more balance in my life."

Sounds nice. Millions of dollars in your paycheck sounds nicer, but who are we to judge.

With the first step taken in her new lease on life, the second step is happening now : finding a man! Jo explained:

"Proper balance will allow me to date and have a relationship and look at my own future of having a family. I am definitely excited about dating and being in a committed relationship. That is all exciting stuff for me around the corner."

And in a new interview published on Thursday, the college student admitted that she received a ton of hateful messages -- including death and rape threats -- following the crybaby candidate's digital tantrum.

The now-19-year-old explained to The Washington Post that she couldn't have anticipated the kind of backlash she received, saying:
